Boys White comes oh-so-close in Canton Cup final, loses 5-4
Time wasn't on the White team's side in the championship game of the Canton Cup on Sunday afternoon.
Michigan Chill SBC White's goal with 10 seconds remaining gave the East Lansing-based side a 5-4 win and the Boys U-11 Gray trophy.
In addition to the last-second goal, Chill SBC White also scored twice near the end of the first half _ at the 30:42 and 32:32 marks.
The referee allowed play to continue past the 30-minute mark, mistakenly believing the game was to be played in 35-minute segments.
White team coach Mario Ramirez said the referee apologized to him after the game.
Coach Mario wasn't making any excuses, though, and instead had nothing but praise for both teams.
"I'll take a game like that any day of the week," he said. "Every single one of our players played like a champion."
And to that end, he accepted the Canton Cup runners-up trophy during a ceremony held off to the side of the field.
Alex Cross and Oliver Horswill scored two goals each, with Ollie's second tally tying the game at 4-4 five minutes into the second half.
Dylan Schmitzerle made a number of key saves, and two of his long punts directly contributed to two of the goals.
After the successful run during this weekend's tournament, United will be back at practice on Wednesday, not far from where it came oh-so-close to a Canton Cup championship.

Boys White beats Celtic Silver 4-3 in 3rd game of Canton Cup
Alex Cross scored his fifth and sixth goals of the Canton Cup as the boys White team beat Canton Celtic Silver 4-3 Sunday morning.
United led 4-0 at the half and held on as Celtic Silver scored three unanswered goals, the last with about a minute remaining.
Coach Mario Ramirez said his United team played equally well in both halves.
"(Celtic Silver) just came out more aggressive in the second half, that's all," he said. "Our kids played fantastic."
The White team's other goals were scored by Madison Grieb _ who also assisted on Alex's second goal _ and Riley List.
Now, United waits. It finished the tournament at 2-1 with a plus-2 goal differential. If the winner of the Goodrich White/Michigan Tigers Blue game prevails by fewer than three goals, United moves on to Sunday afternoon's Boys U11 Gray division championship game.

Boys White loses 2-1 in 2nd game of Canton Cup
The boys White team didn't fare as well in Saturday's second Canton Cup game, losing 2-1 to Goodrich SC White.
Alex Cross' breakaway goal at 38:26 _ his fourth of the tournament _ cut Goodrich's lead in half, but United wasn't able to produce an equalizer.

The game was played in only 40 minutes with no halftime because of weather delays earlier in the day that threw off the Canton Cup schedule.
The White team concludes its scheduled games with a 7 a.m. kickoff Sunday against Canton Celtic Silver.
